Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The proposed amendments in Release No. 33-10098 would modernize the property disclosure requirements for mining registrants by more closely aligning the Commission’s mining property disclosure requirements with global industry standards and practice, and by providing investors with a more comprehensive understanding of a registrant’s mining properties, which should help them make more informed voting and investment decisions. However, we anticipate that the amendments would increase the burdens and costs for registrants to prepare and review the collections of information that require disclosure of a registrant’s mining properties. These estimated burden and cost increases are expected to result from the proposed changes to the Commission’s disclosure requirements for mining registrants, such as the amendments that would, for the first time, require a registrant with material mining operations to disclose information about its mineral resources, in addition to its mineral reserves; and require a registrant to obtain and attach a technical report summary prepared by a qualified person as an exhibit to its Commission filing when first disclosing mineral resource or mineral reserve estimates, or when disclosing a material change in previously disclosed mineral resource or reserve estimates. For purposes of the PRA, we estimate that the proposed amendments to Form S-1 would result in a net increase of 768 burden hours and a net increase in the cost burden of $921,300 for the services of outside professionals.
